My dad has really slowed down in the last few years but he still gets out. Grouse hunting is pretty tough on him so he doesn't really go out anymore. The other day he said he wanted to go out on Monday so we made plans to meet up and give it a go. I wanted to go someplace easier for him to walk around and it turns out he didn't even bring a gun haha he just wanted to watch the dog work. So my local covers had some crunchy snow from the freezing rain the night before so I met him at an old cover close to his house. When i got there it was nothing but fog and hard snow so off we went to find a better place. Went to a cover over the mtn where the sun hits better and was able to find a place where it was clear. This cover was at its peek about 4 years ago but thought we would give it a try. It has a few different cuts at different ages and some reverting fields on the outskirts. Dad pretty much stuck to the logging roads and we gave it heck. Ended up with one point (see pic) but no bird was home. Rosco was sure there was one there but it must have slipped out by the time i got to him. All in all it was a great time to get out w/ my dad and dog
